Hey there dog lover!

Do you want to learn something about your relationship with your dog?? (of course, you do! 😉)

Today, you are getting a sneak peek at one of the first lessons in my Relationship Remedy Online Program!

This is one of my favourite exercises that all of my students do. 

It's called BE with. 

I first learned about this when my dad bought me a baby horse. I was thrown into the deep end of trying to figure out horse psychology ( prey) instead of dog psychology (predator). 

So that began an incredible journey of learning and today I am sharing that with you! 

Your dog is always communicating with you... and this exercise will help you stop and take a moment to listen. :-)



I hope you enjoy this mediative exercise in awareness.

Hey there fellow dog lover!

Dog reactivity and off-leash dogs. 🐕

It's a hot topic for sure. 🔥

It can be said that dog reactivity is born from bad experiences when your dog is on a leash.

But today I am talking about how I turned a potentially bad situation into a dog-bonding experience.

I am sharing exactly what I did, why I did it and sharing 3 tips on how to help your dogs when off-leash dogs approach you while you are walking your dog.

Now disclaimer time:

There are many variables when it comes to off-leash encounters with other dogs. Today's story worked because these dogs weren't aggressive and the owners were great people. That won't always be the case therefore, always consult a professional dog trainer to help you if you are struggling with dog reactivity and off-leash dog encounters
